As a former restaurant apprentice chef I can say with 98.2% accuracy that the All-Clad brand is highly desirable. If she is a serious home chef the Bonded Copper Core line is the way to go. Otherwise, I’d opt for the D5 Polished line.
Of course if she has a rich sugar-daddy springing for the set then she can look at Mauviel M’200 Line. Sold piece by piece. Putting together a 10 piece set will run north of $5000.
Disclaimer: I own a few pieces of the All-Clad D5 and I find them to be outstanding.
